Brick, Mortar, Dust and Black Gold

Via JBX: Stashin Records, a new site devoted to the preservation of New York record shop culture. Thus far, David, the guy who runs the site, has interviewed and photographed folks at Big City, Good, Hospital and some other local shops. It's a great project that will hopefully find its way onto a coffee table near you in the near future.
